And a very sincere Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays to one and all. To get over the hangover of the holidays, here's a sweet and easy small space stitch that adds a little somethin' somethin' to what may be a boring space.
While this is an absolute riff on the Alternating Plain Needlepoint post I did a few weeks ago, there is something about the texture of the French Knots that make this stand out. On the stitched sample below, you can see I had nothing but small spaces. The French Knot texture, along with the thread color, helped further differentiate the area.

Okay, back to whatever you are doing! I hope it is not cleaning up as that is what children and grandchildren are for. Hope you have/had a wonderful holiday. Only nine months until next year's holiday finishing deadline! Hurry!
